Results for Friday Night Fights 6/10/2011

Friday Night Fights was in full effect once again in New York. In the night's main event Chris Kwiatkowski made sure he wasn't going to leave things up to the judges as he had done his pervious fight which ended in a draw. The Polish Punisher made sure Oliver Parker didn't see the final bell let alone the final round after scoring a fourth round KO.

Two big names also on the card were Brodie Farber and Phillipe Nover, two former UFC fighters. Both came in with big expectations from them and they both delivered. Farber scored a TKO over Josh Tamsen-Estrella, and Nover defeated tough Canadian Anthony Ford via KO.

Phillipe Nover – A Muay Thai detour


On June 10th, 2011 Phillipe Nover will return to combat sports action. Most remember Nover from his UFC days. The runner up on the eight installment of The Ultimate Fighter has not competed in any type of combat sport since his February 2010 loss to Robert Emerson at UFC 109. His return will not be to the MMA world, but will instead be to the Muay Thai world under the Friday Night Fights banner in New York.

The Brooklyn native was cut from the UFC after his loss to Emerson, and reality came calling. In any combat sport there is nothing but sacrifice until you reach the pinnacle. Nover made it to the big leagues, but making it and surviving in the big leagues are two different things.
